Chapter 18 The Past and Shadow (3)

This young man Dunhe looks kind and looks like an elder brother. He really can't see what the master thinks is "hidden traitor". Shen Rui lived in a big family in his previous life and was used to the struggles between relatives. Naturally, he saw that what the young man said was not a false statement, so he nodded honestly.

For a moment, the two brothers looked very kind and respectful.

Not only did Shen Rui notice Chen Jin's kindness, but Chen Jin also felt Shen Rui's obedience and felt a lot of emotion. He had only one brother and one brother, and there was no one who was not close to him. However, Shen Rui's attitude was too bad before and never had a good face. He was not easy to care about for his mother, so his brothers regarded him as strangers.

Now that my grandmother is not kind, my father is not responsible, and my aunt has a bad reputation. Chen Jinchu is still resentful, but after a few days, he is a little open-minded. The son does not say that his father is, but what about the elders? As long as he is safe and unwilling to do so. He is particularly pleased that the brothers can have such easing, and he can't help but feel a little impulsive and said, "My second brother's yard has not been cleaned up and the guest room is not spacious, otherwise he will move it to my yard and just go to study with his elder brother."

Shen Rui was stunned when he heard this.

What is this saying? A student who won the "little three yuan" and a child who has not memorized three hundred thousand, what books should he read together?

Seeing that he did not refuse, Chen Jin felt that this idea was good and his tone became softer: "Second brother, studying is not boring. When he learns, it is very interesting. The teacher in the clan is teaching urgently. You have too many homework and there are always some things you don't know, so you will get more and more tired of books. The Shen family's famous family, if they don't study, outsiders will joke. Don't Brother Jue like to compete with the second brother the most? Do you want to let Brother Jue go..."

If Chen Jin's move to give medicine just now is seventy-six points, this is a very kind-hearted statement to encourage learning.

The Shen family pays the most attention to legitimate and illegitimate children, but why no one is looking down on Chen Jin? It’s nothing more than a seed of study and a promising future. Shen Rui has become a poor name and is just a playboy. Even if Shen Rui shows his face in front of the clan members for a while and gets mercy, if he still doesn’t learn and ignorant as his master’s past, he will eventually destroy everyone. Only by studying hard and taking the imperial examination can he truly gain a foothold in the family and in this world.

Whenever Chen Jin has selfish thoughts, he would not want to take his younger brother to study without avoiding suspicion. After all, in the eyes of the clan members, it was Zheng's "negligence" fault that Zheng had suffered before. Even with him, the Zheng family, had trouble. If he avoided suspicion, he would be far away from Shen Rui.

Chen Jin did not want to have trouble at home again, but also really wanted to be friendly to his younger brother, so he made such a proposal.

Shen Rui could feel his earnestness and seriousness, but this did not match his plan. He could only reject this kindness. In order to prevent the troubles, it was difficult to mention that he wanted to leave home, so he whispered: "Thank you, brother, let me talk about it after my mother is in funeral."

He is willing to accept Chen Jin's kindness, not at the moment, nor is it this way. Otherwise, as soon as the "brothers and brothers and respects" come out, the four families will be happy and happy, and who will be willing to stand up for him?

Chen Jin looked at Shen Rui and knew that he was not enthusiastic about reading books, but he was not irritated when he heard Jue Ge'er's name, and he felt a little confused. The "Je Ge'er" he mentioned just now was the youngest son of the master of the Zongfang House, and he was with Shen Rui.

If the brothers Shen Rui and Chen Jin regard each other as strangers, then Brother Tong Jue is like a natural enemy. The two are a clan and a legitimate son of four families. They are both arrogant and do not let anyone get a part of each other when they meet. When they are young, they are together, and when they grow up, they will not have a good face to each other.

The person I hate the most is neither his "second daughter" nor his concubine, but this brother Jue.

Shen Rui was thinking about the grudges with the little fat man "Brother Jue", and was stunned for a moment.

When he came to his senses, he saw Chen Jin staring at him suspiciously and could not tell what he was thinking. He rubbed the bottle of medicine oil and said, "Brother, I have grown up."

My younger brother is no longer willful and arrogant. Chen Jin is also relieved and sad, but he also knows that the times have changed. In this family, who really loves Shen Rui, I am afraid that he has his own brother. He did not force himself and said softly: "If you don't like to squeeze in the same courtyard with your elder brother, let the housekeeper clean up the courtyard next to me. My second brother is now nine years old and should be moved to the outer courtyard."

Shen Rui said: "Now everyone is busy with mother's affairs inside and outside, so I'll wait for it."

Chen Jin thought that if his younger brother officially moved to the outer courtyard, he would not only clean up the furniture in the house, but also choose people around him. He needed to do a good job of doing it seriously. Now in a hurry, he was afraid that there would be something wrong, so he nodded and said, "Then let me listen to my second brother, and I will talk about it after I finish cooking my mother's big event."

Chen Jin was still a little happy because his younger brother did not refuse the matter of the two brothers' adjoining the yard in the future.

After the two brothers returned to the mourning hall, the atmosphere here changed immediately.

Chen Jin was less gloomy and more open-minded. He felt that he was really tragic before. He should not think too much about his status as a concubine, and was not lukewarm to his younger brother. His mother treated him with kindness and fulfilled her responsibilities of upbringing, and she was only grateful. And this younger brother, even though he was different from his mother, was the same father's brother, and he should be more responsible.

What Shen Rui thought was that due to his identity, he could not break off relations with the fourth wife. In that way, to outsiders, he would be too cold-hearted. Although Chen Jin was a little clever, he had no bad intentions. Looking at Chen Juren's behavior, after he left home, it would be difficult to "father, be kind and son, filial". It would be better to "friendly brothers, respectful brothers" with Chen Jin. In the eyes of others, it is a virtue. Zhang Lao'an's words and slander will also have a counter-proof.

Chen Quan was at home. After sending Chen's care on behalf of his mother, he returned to Chen Ju's house. Seeing the "warm" appearance of his brothers, he rubbed his eyes hard.

After eavesdropping on Shen Rui and Chen Li's words, he felt uneasy and thought about whether he should be alienated from Chen Jin. Although Chen Jin was educated by Sun, he could "receive Mien and fight against Mien" and had a reputation and family property. Who knew whether Zheng's mother and son would have selfish thoughts?

Unexpectedly, after only half an hour after he returned home, the two brothers who were originally alienated from each other immediately became closer. Chen Jin's face became more warm, and Shen Rui was not pretending to be mute and began to speak.

This made Chen Quan confused.

*

Inner courtyard, in Lao'an's room.

Everyone was talking and fighting in a mess. Zhang Lao'an felt ache in his forehead and couldn't hold back the smile on his face. She glanced at Lao'an, the nine-room house, and there was a little more contempt in her eyes.

Could it be that she is a confused old woman? One by one, she wants to pluck her hair from the fourth room.

Sun's fortune is poor, and he has never married a daughter or a niece. Do you have to force someone to make a face for her? What kind of thing is that it will make people feel uneasy if they die.

Zhang Lao Anren cursed a few words in his heart, thinking about the patriarch who had never appeared, and he felt a little uneasy. Over the years, that old man has been supporting Sun's family. If that old guy was determined to protect Shen Rui and made a comeback, would Shen Rui have made a profit?

Even if a married daughter has no right to give her dowry, it is reasonable to get a little soft. Zhang Laoan only felt that she had an idea in her heart, touched her forehead, and was a little tired, and ordered someone to serve soup and see her off.

Waiting for the guests to leave, Zhang Lao'an rubbed his temples and said to Hao's mother standing beside him: "I haven't come some days."

Mother Hao brought sweet tea and said, "No, my cousin showed up when she was 'receiving three', and neither the 'first seven' or today."

Mr. Zhang took the tea and took a sip and said, "Look at these dilapidated houses today, I don't even want any dough. Even if the family wants to find a niece, a niece and son-in-law make faces for Sun, and even Yan Niang, it's not the turn of the three-way man to take advantage of this."

When Hao heard this, his mother was stunned. Even if she was a slave, she knew that this relative was not like this. The aunts who came to the house today, even if they were far away from the fourth room, were still serious aunts of the Shen family, calling Sun "Auntie". The "Yan Niang" mentioned by Lao An was from the Zhang family, and married the Chen family as a wife, which had nothing to do with the Shen family. They were niece's seniority, but there was an additional word "天". The weight of clan relatives and cousins ​​was different.

However, Lao An has always been biased and wants to divide his family into half of his family. Hao's mother naturally swallowed the complaint and flattered him: "That's not the case. Whether it is Lady Hui or Lady Ping, they have received great kindness from his wife. To be honest, if it weren't for the help of his wife, they might be the two of them still be old daughters at home. Ruo Lao Nu said that the wife was too loose in her hands back then. She helped this and this, so she would not have fallen behind. She didn't have two ungrateful wolves. Now she is the name of "repaying kindness", and her belly is still calculating on the soft and soft private house left by her wife. In other words, Lao An, if it were someone else, she might have been fooled by them."

When Zhang Lao'an heard this, although he was a little proud, he thought that Sun had been scattered with countless silver that had been scattered for more than 20 years after marrying the Shen family. He felt so heartbroken: "It's all the prodigal women who pretend to be good-looking. Now everyone thinks that the fourth room is a soft persimmon, and they want to come and roll around and get a piece of silver ingot. I want to see who can cut the meat from the fourth room."

Hao's mother smiled and said, "With Lao An people in charge, the life in the mansion will only get better and better, and it will never be cheaper for those dilapidated houses."

Mr. Zhang is now in power and is very content with his face. However, when he thinks of his mother's family, he can't help but wonder: "It's not just Yan Niang, but also his uncle and a few nephews don't come to the door for some days. Could it be that there is something ugly outside that is stoked on the Zhang family?" He said this, and he was a little annoyed: "It's all those bad guys who are so stupid that they really follow his mother. He made a big show, which made the family lose face and deliberately ruined the reputation of the fourth house, making your master uncomfortable these days."

Although Hao's mother didn't like Shen Rui, she thought about the fact that in recent days, the maid who had been raising mothers and maids in the mansion would be sad and be a little cautious. She really didn't dare to talk about the little master. Now things are in front of the top scholar, even if the top scholar is not sincerely concerned about Sun's kindness, she will support Shen Rui just for the sake of face. When it comes to the time of calculating, how can a "supervisor neglect" be able to expose it?
